[Apple iPod] Re: MP3?

A year and a half ago I had installed a device into my Jeep Liberty
that plays the ipod through the speaker system, and the sound is
great. My wife with very sensitive hearing likes the sound, and so
do I despite my really crappy hearing. I bought and had installed
the whole system from Circuit City, and it's inside my glove box.
The default is it plays a mass random shuffle, but I can game it by
launching on the iPod whatever Playlist is wanted. The whole thing
cost about $200. What's really great about it is the connection is
through the synch end of the iPod, not the audio jack, and it is
charging the unit while it plays.

Regrettably, I can't now recall the name of this thing, but you'll
find it at C-City in a box for sale to consumers in the Car Audio
department. IMO, you do not want something that plugs into the audio
jack or certainly not a unit that works on the FM radio band.

Good luck, and enjoy.

I know exactly how you feel, Linda. It took me hours of on-line
research but I finally figured out that what you want is called an
"Auxilliary Audio Input" (AAI). It's just a simple 1/8-inch coaxial
stereo input jack that's mounted on the dashboard and connects via a
patch cord (available for a couple of bucks from Radio Shack or just
about any other electronic retailer) with the earphone jack on your
iPod.
